Happy Monday, all! I'm delighted to announce a new giveaway: two readers can win a framed art print of their choice from the new and improved Thumbtack Press! Thumbtack offers a curated collection of work from over 100 artists and illustrators. When I say I'm delighted, it's not blogger hyperbole, either. I've ordered from Thumbtack Press myself and can verify that their prints are terrific. Their paper stock is really heavy, and their inks are archival and stated to be fade resistant for 100 years, which ought to be just about long enough. Prices are super affordable.

How to win a framed print• Leave a comment on this post with the name of a print at Thumbtack's site that you admire (choose from over 1300!)• Include a link, email address, or other way of contacting you.

Giveaway closes Monday, Nov. 29 at midnight CT. Two winners will be randomly drawn, announced on Thumbtack Press's Facebook page (give it a Like!), and notified. International readers are invited, too.

Get 15% off through Dec. 15If you plan to order some goodies for yourself or others, enter the code orange at checkout and save 15% for a limited time.

Update: The giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Carrie who chose “Deep Tree Diving” by Terry Fan, and Errin who likes “Tangle” by Paul Blow. Thanks to everyone for participating!

I love "Stormy Captain"! My significant other is a sailor.. and just became captain of his own ship this summer. So when he's underway for weeks at a time, I keep picturing a scene like the storm in this artwork, even though I know he's like safe & snug on an inside bridge. ;)

Oh my. So many awesome prints from them. Definitely bookmarking a few for later. But I'd have to say my favorite right now is "With this Flag I Surrender by Matthew Woodson". Great great artwork. Thanks for hosting this contest. :)

Definitely Dead Mexicans 2 by Dave Ortega. I just returned from a business trip to Mexico and all the stores were decked out with their best Day of the Dead merchandise. Never had enough time off to go shopping...

I'm in love with this one: http://www.thumbtackpress.com/browse/product_info.php?cPath=116&products_id=1171 - Schloss by Ana Galvan. The girl in the picture looks exactly like me when I was I child! :)Thanks for this amazing giveawayLove,Andreaandrea.miklova(at)seznam.cz

I would basically take anything from Shiro Arihara. Is there anything better than the composition of those pieces?! I have always loved whales so Whale Says would be a front runner (how coincidental that you included it in the collage too?!).

Happy Monday! What a fantastic giveaway. I really like Masayoshi Mizuho's work (seen here: http://bit.ly/bGlyYW), especially "Walking in Blue Wood" and "The First Rain of Summer". I'd love to have a print to decorate my new place with! :)

I can't believe I never knew about this site! So many amazing artists! I looked forever and still only saw a fraction I bet, but I guess Liza Ferneyhough's "Scooter" is my current favorite, thanks for the giveaway opportunity Thumbtack!

Hi!While I admire many of these paintings, "Ocean Meets Sky" is my very favorite. I admire it because the artist takes similar qualities from both immense bodies and puts them together so that they fit. Thanks, C
